ニューヨーク近代美術館さんのインスタグラム動画 - (ニューヨーク近代美術館Instagram)「Watch our expert conservator Lee Ann Daffner as she explores the sensitive chemistry involved in restoring one of the oldest photographs in the #MoMACollection, an 1842 daguerreotype slowly being engulfed by tarnish. Head to link in bio for the full video and see the conserved photographs in Gallery 502! Within two years of the invention of photography, Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey, a French aristocrat, assembled a team to travel the Mediterranean and make over a thousand images of the region’s cities, people, and ruins. These early daguerreotypes projected images directly onto silver plates, like a mirror imprinting a reflection onto its polished surface. Akin to Polaroids, they were unique photographic objects that offered no convenient method of replication. The daguerreotype Daffner is restoring here captures two separate images—the Arch of Septimius Severus and Capitoline Lion in the Roman Forum. #MoMAMagazine #MoMAConservation #Conservation」12月7日 2時35分
